Possible Euro Opponents

[Bad Habits]

Not sure why everyone's dropping eggs over these two. One of the more winnable ties looking at potential opponents.

Scandi teams are always difficult due to them being mid season. I'd rather take Luzern on that basis.

I do think people forget that Hibs are actually a pretty decent football team!

[Hermit Crab]

We are going to be playing a team who last season won home and away in Europe against Rjieka, Sepsi, Molde and Gent before crashing out in the last 16 5-0 on agg to Lech Poznan. They finished 2nd in their league 7 points behind BK Hacken last season and are currently 4th in the league after 17 games with a +3 goal difference.

We are absolutely up against it.

[.Sean.]

****. Thats an absolute disaster. We are out, no question.

[Hibees1973]

Gubbed 0-4 at home to Elfsborg at the weekend. They're not that good!

They did beat Malmo 2-0 the previous week and they are 3rd.

They also knocked out Rijeka 4-1 on aggregate last season and look what they did to us.

Bit of an ask beating this lot with what we have.

[Donegal Hibby]

Don't know why we even try to qualify for Europe if we are going to take such a defeatist attitude. Hard game yes but if we play to our potential we will give them a good game . Bring them on I say .

GGTTH :flag:

[SunshineOnLeith]

****. Thats an absolute disaster. We are out, no question.

Be honest, you had that post written and were going to post it whoever we got unless it was the Portuguese mob, didn't you?

[Trinity Hibee]

I would ask what have Hibs done recently that gives people optimism we will beat these teams? Serious question.

All of the data supports djurgardens (if that’s who we play) putting us away easily yet those pointing that out are being told to keep quiet. Great group stage record last season and they are half way through their season.

Optimism is admirable but let’s be realistic here. The squad isn’t ready. We need a centre forward in to even have a glimmer of a chance and I’m not confident that will happen.

[Broken Gnome]

Someone posted the Shamrock scores against them last season. You've got the Faroese team beating the Hungarians this year. Dundalk have had famous wins, other Irish sides have run better teams close...

Absolutely nothing is a right off. Hibs don't have a great record in these games obviously so it's seems a tall order, but if other similar or lesser teams can outplay their apparent inferiority, no reason why we can't.

It was very much a Celtic XI to be fair

Huge ask for us to progress given that draw IMO, a decent striker prior is needed to give us even half a chance

[lyonhibs]

Well, I'll be praying for the Lucerne tie obviously 😅

[easty]

Always want to avoid teams at this stage whose seasons are well underway already.

They’re not world beaters by any means, but a very tough ask

[Hibernian Verse]

You don't have to go that far back to the last time we won against a seeded side.

What a night that was in Tripolis.

[CapitalGreen]

[Since452]

No point qualifying for Europe then kacking our breeks at who we draw. We wont be an easy tie for them either. Lets get in about them.

[Since90+2]

That's not a great draw. I'd have made them favourites based on their European performances last season, but then add in the are mid season and that make them big favourites IMO.

Not saying we can't beat them, but it's say it's quite unlikely.

[BigKev]

Of course we’ve got a chance. In context Lech Poznan tucked the Swedes away 5 nil on aggregate last season if we’re bringing results into the argument.

A good result at home is required against either side and we’ve proven we can raise our game on occasion. Let’s hope this is one of they evenings.

[Unseen work]

Neither strike the fear into me.

Good teams, but we can beat both.

Mon the Hibees

[Hero76]

Plenty flights to Stockholm too :thumbsup:

[Hibby Bairn]

The way I look at these things is to firstly ask myself "would Rangers or Celtic fancy themselves to beat these teams". The answer to this is yes imo. Therefore they should be on a par with Hibs, Hearts or Aberdeen imo. So a winnable tie.

[lugz]

Swedish lot came top of their group last season taking 16 points from Gent, Molde and Shamrock Rovers. Can't say I'd be confident at all playing them with them half way through their season too.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The Swedes put Rijeka out of one of the qualifying rounds last season.

Optimism is admirable but let’s be realistic here. The squad isn’t ready. We need a centre forward in to even have a glimmer of a chance and I’m not confident that will happen.

No one is being told to keep quiet but the comments by some on how we are have nae chance, goin to get hammered etc are totally OTT. I think most on here are realistic, we are the underdogs but we have a chance. As some have pointed why bother trying to qualify for europe only to keek our breeks as soon as the draw is made.

Don’t think it’s the fans we need to worry about keeking their breeks. Majority of the time it’s the team that do that. Probably why many are pessimistic

[gbhibby]

Remember the days when we would fear nobody in Europe. You have to beat what is in front of you. Wonder if there is bedwetting on the swedes and Swiss fans forums. Get the Andorrans out the way and with players coming back and hopefully a couple of signings we look in good shape.

[DaveF]

Would we be home or away first or is all that still to be confirmed?

[Chorley Hibee]

I hope we can get a 3/4 more in before this tie, otherwise (I think) we're woefully unprepared for Europe once again.

[mcfly]

Let’s win our first game and then worry about the next round 🙄🙄

[Since90+2]

No, not at all. Anyone under the age of 50 probably won't either.

Home first. No need for a fixture change as Hearts have been drawn away first.

Too right mate . Hopefully a new striker in and let's see how they cope with Youan and Boyle running at them too :greengrin

[Paul1642]

Djurgardens and Gent the teams to avoid then IMO.

Gent probably being the best team in out pot and Djurgardens are no worse than Cluj or Plzen without the bonus of gaining a seeded place if we can win the tie.

I think the best we could draw is Cluj. We are capable of winning that toe and the seeded place next round is our only real hope of making the groups.

Should have bet on this

[Allant1981]

Can beat either of them if we play well, not sure why we are automatically out according to some

[Nakedmanoncrack]

So, are we agreed - no permutations that could involve the home and away legs being switched?

[Springbank]

Little doubt would have preferred the draw the Yam got, particularly they have the home leg second.

Djurgardens got 16 points out of 18 in the group stages last season. Very good recent pedigree.

Will need to take a lead over there or we are f***ed.

Sounds like you are thinking this is the Hearts of last season

The trouble, for Johnny Yam, is that his main attacking threat (Ginnelly's pace and directness) has gone, and gone without a transfer fee.

Shankland scored a few, but so many were either penalties (involving Ginnelly) or from situations where a paceman had created openings.

If it ends up being the current Hearts squad, I don't think they have automatically got nearly as many goals in them.

[The_Exile]

Pffff, they weren't up to much last time we played them so this will be a walk in the park man.................

[BoomtownHibees]

wed - sat coming in 145

Who with? And from where?

[BarneyK]

There's no doubt they have the advantage being mid season but as far as I can see this isn't necessarily the same team that done well last season. They are already 3 goals conceded shy of last year's domestic tally with 13 games to go and the front 3 (from their last game) have a combined goal total of about 5 for this season so far. The dangerman may be Oliver Berg in midfield. He scores a few from midfield.

As it stands Djurgardens are unlikely to be seeded in the next round (unless a load of seeded teams get knocked out).

Possibly the worst draw in the sense that it's one of the tougher opponents but without the benefit of seeding if we do manage to beat them?

Yup, it's a lose-lose situation - we have one of the more difficult sides, but will still be unseeded for the play-off draw.

[the_ginger_hibee]

Yup, it's a lose-lose situation - we have one of the more difficult sides, but will still be unseeded for the play-off draw.

We need about 6 seeded teams to go out for us to end up seeded from beating Djurgardens. Probably just a couple too many. Hearts need every seeded team out as Rosenberg are rock bottom of the unseeded list.

[Greenio]

Once we beat these Swedish tramps what are the dates for the next round? I might just make a Hibs Euro game! ;)

[the_ginger_hibee]

Play-off round draw 7th August
1st Leg 24 August
2nd Leg 31 August

[Paul1642]

One of the worst draws possible, mostly because they are not seeded however it’s still absolutely winnable.

I personally hate playing scandinavian teams due to them starting the season so early and us being pumped a few times in recent years, however this is the European football we do everything to earn and if we can’t beat the 4th best team in Sweden then I guess we just aren’t good enough to be going any further. Glad to have the home leg first and feel that could really help us as long as we win it we can go to Sweden knowing what we need to do.

Unlike our last fixture against a scandinavian team we won’t unknowingly be up against the future best striker on earth :)

Looking forward to this but first things first, gotta beat Inter Club! That and maybe not jump to conclusions about Luzern losing.

[MacBean]

So, are we agreed - no permutations that could involve the home and away legs being switched?

Hacken (europa league) and Kalmar (conf league) also away first leg but both clubs based significantly far away enough that I’d imagine it won’t impact the order of our games

Absolutely, if we lose the tie to this bunch of cloggers then I expect a few sackings to dished out immediately after as well as a few resignations to boot.

[Keith_M]

Surely the important thing is to just enjoy being in European competition, and maybe the chance of a decent trip abroad?

All we can hope for then is that the team play at their best and see where it takes us.

I just have aspirations for Hibs to do a bit better than give their fans a single trip away on the pish every few years.

This would be a great test for February Hibs, it’ll continue to rankle with me that August Hibs are a poorer imitation. It’s worth a potentially huge sum of money to us.

[Paul1642]

Consensus on twitter seems to be that it’s a great draw. I wonder if this place is a bit of a bubble of negativity at times.

[stoneyburn hibs]

It'll be tough no doubt,but certainly not beyond us to turn either team over.

[Tambo]

Neither strike the fear into me.

Good teams, but we can beat both.

Mon the Hibees

This is more like it, Mon the Hibees.

[SHODAN]

Djurgarden's ten most recent games (latest first)
0-4 v Elfsborg
2-0 v Malmo
2-1 v Varnamo
2-0 v Varberg
2-2 v Norrkoping
1-1 v Elfsborg
1-0 v AIK
1-0 v Hacken
2-0 v Mjallby
3-4 v Hammarby

Up until getting battered by league leaders Elfsborg (remember them?) they were on an unbeaten run of eight games, including against Malmo and their derby rivals AIK (their first home win in the derby since 2010). They're 4th in the league at the moment.

[Keith_M]

I might be on my own with this one but I think I'd prefer a trip to Luzern.


Direct flights to Basel, then a roughly one hour train ride through the Swiss countryside.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Consensus on twitter seems to be that it’s a great draw. I wonder if this place is a bit of a bubble of negativity at times.

I think everything points to it being a very very difficult tie. The majority of the other possibilities were easier ties.

Decent draw in terms of where we’ll be playing though.

[SunshineOnLeith]

We were a lower league team when we took Brondby to penalties, the idea what Hibs can't possibly beat these teams is total nonsense.

[Paul1642]

In fairness what a lower League team we were!

We have a good showing in 2021 and went out to a good Molde team which included Haalaand. As you said prior to that we took Brondby to pens whilst in the Championship.

Before this our teams which faced Malmo and Maribor were pretty terrible. I think this has added to our low self esteem when it comes to European football. We don’t have that problem this year and are going into these fixtures with good players.

[Spike Mandela]

Consensus on twitter seems to be that it’s a great draw. I wonder if this place is a bit of a bubble of negativity at times.

It's a great draw in terms of potential trips however getting a Scandinavian team is a bit of a bummer im terms of progressing.

At this stage of the season we are usually under prepared in terms of squad and being match ready wheras the Scandinavians are at full squad and already motoring in their league.

Not impossible, but got to be honest, I think we need new signings bedded in and a massive early season performance to get through this. Just don't see it happening

Maybe Luzern will do us a favour.

[worcesterhibby]

No, not at all. Anyone under the age of 50 probably won't either. 60

We need to be switched on & apply ourselves and we've got pace on both flanks.

Tbh i think all our aspirations are for hibs to get further etc but the reality for us (and other scottish teams ex OF) is that we are simply not at that level any more so a trip once a year is probably as good as it gets.

[B.H.F.C]

The only way it’s enjoyable is if the team give a proper account of themselves and do well. Trip is ruined if that’s not the case.

IMO we have a winnable tie though, especially when you look at some of the names in at this stage. If you want to get through you’re going to need to play some half decent teams along the way. We can have a proper go at them in the first leg to try and take a lead over. If we can do that then we’ll have a proper threat on the break with Youan and hopefully Boyle back in contention.

Quite funny how the Hibs.net site has reacted cautiously to what could be the perfect draw (if we have any ambitions of snatching a seeded place for the play off round & really moving forwards here)

And the jambos are absolutely crowing on their site about qho they will face in the playoff as they're convinced rosenborg are worse than the August 2023 version of Steven Naismiths Hearts (unless Uefa are looking in).

I would not be surprised if we go through & hearts tumble out.

And given their boastful reaction to the draw, that would be an early popcorn moment to savour

[Hibees1973]

Just hope the home leg is not the same as the last one we had against a Swedish team at ER. A narrow win at home gives us a small chance.

In times gone by facing a team currently 4th in the Swedish league would not have us worried us. However, it's the standard of Scottish football below the OF that is the concern going into European games.

Dundee Utd and the Yam suffered embarrassing heavy defeats in Europe last year which is a decent barometer. Think this is what makes most Hibs fans wary about facing the Swedes.

My feeling is our squad is miles short of being a Europa Group Conference League side. Yes, some deadwood has been moved on but we have not signed enough quality, lack a decent centre half at present and the centre forwards at the club are woeful for European level.

We should put aside the Andorrans with ease. But with just over 2 weeks before the Swedes come knocking on the door we are short and unprepared. Signing Fish is being delayed and to expect a centre forward to come in fit, ready to play and get an understanding of those around him is frankly delusional.

We've done the same RE Gothenburg. Also no chance we were getting the train when you can fly Ryanair direct from Gothenburg to Stockholm Arlanda for literally 9 quid the following morning (6am flight). :cb

I've booked flights to Gothenburg then Gothenburg to Stockholm (then Stockholm back to Edinburgh via Stansted on the way back).

Prices are gonna skyrocket by the time it's even 75% confirmed who'll we'll play, so I've taken the early gamble!

[nonshinyfinish]

I’ve taken a punt on a one way Gothenburg flight, Tuesday night for £25. Accept I might have wasted £25 but if that’s where we’re going the cost will jump massivelyGothenburg is a cracking city to visit as well.

[Dashing Bob S]

Whether Swedes or Swiss, it’s a winnable tie

[DH1875]

You can't fly to Andorra. There are no fixed wing airports.

I'm sure there is one right on the border. You can fly from Madrid to it.

If there is I can't find any flights from Madrid to it.

I could hire a car and leave at 4am on the Friday morning.


Did you get something sorted out mate?

1993, was that us against Anderlect? I'm sure Liege beat hearts that season

2017 us at Brondby and Hearts getting beat off that Maltese mob was it not?

A very useful alternate route is to fly to Copenhagen and then get the train to Stockholm.

Ryanair do Copenhagen from Edinburgh and it's about 6 hours train to Stockholm.

Anderlecht was 1992, after we won the League Cup in '91.

Anderlecht was 1992, after we won the League Cup in '91.

I think the years given (1993 and 2017) are meant as seasons 92/93 and 16/17 – Brondby was summer 2016 after certain events that May.

That's astonishingly bad - its a rarity for both teams to be thriving at once. NB - was there not a season under Mowbray when the Yams finished 2nd and we also got into Europe (4th?)???

[Trinity Hibee]

https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/fc-santa-coloma-vs-hibs-not-on-hibs-tv

Gretna got into Europe over us as the SC runners-up qualified over 4th place if the winner (them) qualified for the CL. They got ****ed by Derry City.

We applied for the Intertoto and lost to OB on away goals.

Safe travels to all those heading off to Andorra. I’m so jealous.
Further compounded that I’ll be in Italy on Aug 10th so will miss home leg if we get through.

IIRC that was back when the Scottish Cup finalists qualified for Europe (provided the winners made Europe through their league placing). So we had the likes of Gretna, Dunfermline & Falkirk in Euro competition in those days!

They changed that to league placings after the Malmo debacle 🫣

Felt like a genuinely 'big' European night - one of the very few we've experienced since the 70s - and the result was actually great. We were genuinely unfortunate not to squeeze through.

The stadium is a mile outside the centre of Les Escaldes and is roughly a 20-30 minute walk.

Camping Valira is next to the ground and will be serving food and drink before the game.

I've booked flights for Stockholm but my group are fully aware it's a gamble. Get the flights for under £50 now and risk losing that or wait and pay maybe 3 times plus if Djurgardens go through.

Just a calculated risk but I don't think anyone is thinking it'll be a walkover. The 4/7 on Lucern looks way off to me though.

[B.H.F.C]

Wouldn’t surprise me if we make hard work of things tomorrow. By the time you account for the heat, them likely booting anything that moves, wasting time and generally making it a pretty **** game I’m not convinced tomorrow will be particularly brilliant. Still think we’ll win the game and we’ll win the tie by a good few goals.

Would be good if we could more or less have the tie done coming back to ER so we can mix things up a bit next week ahead of the St Mirren game.

Just a calculated risk but I don't think anyone is thinking it'll be a walkover. The 4/7 on Lucern looks way off to me though.

We done the same. Happy to lose a small amount if the worst happens.

Would imagine a VPN and selecting a UK region would work

For those travelling to Andorra, ticket collections will be outside the Estadi Comunal d’Andorra la vella from 3 hours before kick off, right up to the match starting ⚽️

These will be distributed by Hibernian staff 🎟️

Please contact me here or [email protected] to help with any support needed.

The stadium is a mile outside the centre of Les Escaldes and is roughly a 20-30 minute walk.

Camping Valira is next to the ground and will be serving food and drink before the game.

Barri Antic, La Tapeta, Bar Els Manyos, Pub Corinthia, Pub La Gruta all recommended visits 🇳🇬

Thanks for that. Arriving in half an hour. A quick shower and see the lay of the land😂

I’ve read a few folk taking a chance and booking flights to Sweden but I’m surprised nobody has mentioned taking a chance on the Swiss side given they’re odds on favourites to go through the tie
Is there plenty cheap flights to Switzerland or does everyone just fancy the Djurgardens?

Short answer is no. Zurich is the closest airport and the cheapest you'll get one way is £71 from London, from Edinburgh flights are £203 one way.

Please remember and use a private browser if checking flight prices.
